<TITLE>05. Par 38-52</TITLE>L-38 "God, in the beginning, is the Word." He always was the Word. And the Word is a "thought that's expressed." See? Now, in His thinking, what He had, the whole plan, knowing the end from the beginning, He has just expressed it in Words, and those Words are manifested.

L-39 Just like the sun, that's God's Word manifested. He said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

L-40 And there is a time of separation. There was a time when God separated the light from the darkness. He always does that. There's a time that He separated the land from the earth, or the water. There's a sep-... He separated Paul and Barnabas. He separated Moses out of Egypt. See, He is always a separation. And there is times come. People, man who carry these ministries, don't like to do that, but it must be done. See? There is a time that the disciples had to separate themselves from their own people.

L-41   Paul turned to the Gentiles, away from the Jews, God's heritage. A time come where he had to do it. They talked against him; but he made that famous word, "I was not disobedient to the Heavenly vision."

L-42 And may I say that same thing, brother, see, the vision of today, see, the vision of the promise of today, the Holy Spirit in--in the land today. God promised that in this day He would pour the Holy Spirit out upon us. Now, I've crossed the country, back and forth. There has been phenomena signs, as you've noticed. Not one time has them signs ever failed. They are perfectly the truth, 'cause it's God. Tens of thousands, times thousands, times thousands, and not one of them can fail.

L-43   They call it a "devil." They call it everything. Some says one thing and another.

L-44 But Jesus said, "If they have called the Master of the house, 'Beelzebub,' how much more will they call those of His disciples?" So Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, in Them you think you have Eternal Life; They are They that testify of Me."

L-45 Now, not they wouldn't testify of me; I'm a human. But the Message that's went forth, It testifies of That. Now, God doesn't send phenomena just to show that He is God. God sends a phenomena to do this: to declare something. A ministry goes forth in phenomena, and all... after all the carnality and stuff that follows It.

L-46   As I read of Martin Luther, the other day, said, "It wasn't a mysterious thing that he could--that he could take and protest the Catholic church and get by with it. The phenomena of Martin Luther, was, he could hold his head above all the fanaticism that followed the reformation."

L-47 That's what we must do. There is everything goes on, and that puts spooks before you brothers. But, remember, the true Light, when It rises, It puts all them spooks away. See? It made, puts the spooks to shame. It shows them up. And so we know that where the phenomena is done, a mixed crowd always goes.

L-48   Moses done the phenomena. And there it went into the wilderness, Korah tried to say, "Well, now, you try to say you're the only one that can do this. There is more holy man besides you."

L-49 You know what taken place, don't you? God said, "Just separate yourself from them." See?

L-50 See, we always had that. When the supernatural is done, the impersonators follows It. It's got to be that way. And that impersonation is what brings in, if...

L-51 Like Congressman Upshaw. His widow flew in, last night, to be in the meeting here. He was healed in the services. You all understand. He always had this expression, "You can't be nothing that you hain't." That's exactly right. You can't be nothing that you--you're not.

L-52   If we could just like a great symphony, we would just follow the beats as the Composer is beating It out, we would see. Now, we--we come to this thought, that the hour that we're living, the time that we're in now, that we have come to the spot to where we're watching for God.
